That's pretty much what I was suggesting: introduce a pop-up-tabs variable between pop-up-windows and pop-up-frames. Maybe there should be two kinds of tabs: * Ordinary tabs. If you are in one of these, the "other window" operations work as now, staying in the same tab. * Specified tabs. These are created by programs such as GUD, and set up in precise window configurations by them. If you are in a specified tab, and you visit a buffer in "another window", `display-buffer' creates a new ordinary tab, switches to it, and displays the buffer there. The user command to make a tab should make an ordinary tab.
